The One
One simple mouth swab is all it takes: a DNA test promises to reveal your perfect partner — the one you're genetically made for. A decade after scientists discover everyone has a gene shared with just one other person, millions have taken the test in search of true love. Now five more people meet their Matches. Marrs explores how destiny, desire, and deception collide when soul mates have secrets that can be shocking — and dangerous. Ideal as a standalone novel or as part of this dystopian book collection, The One inspired the Netflix series and showcases John Marrs’ talent for high-concept, character-driven storytelling.
The Marriage Act
Set in near-future Britain under a right-wing government, the Sanctity of Marriage Act mandates marriage as the norm and punishes those who remain single. Four couples discover how impossible relationships become when the state supervises every word and minor disagreement, using surveillance and coercion to enforce “love, honour and obey.” This chilling exploration of personal freedom, societal pressure, and authoritarian policy makes The Marriage Act a standout in contemporary dystopian fiction and an excellent conversation starter for classrooms and book groups.
The Family Experiment
With global populations soaring and cities overcrowded, parenthood becomes unaffordable for many. Enter a controversial alternative: for a monthly fee, clients create virtual children via the Metaverse and access them with VR headsets. To launch MetaChildren, the company stages a reality TV show that blurs ethics and entertainment. Marrs asks difficult questions about technology, family, and what it truly means to raise a child, adding emotional stakes to his trademark suspenseful plotting.
John Marrs is a former journalist turned novelist whose titles include the No.1 bestseller and Netflix series The One, the award-winning What Lies Between Us, and The Good Samaritan. Trusted by readers for tense plotting and moral complexity, this Dark Future boxed set makes a memorable gift, an engaging addition to classroom reading lists, and a timeless keepsake for anyone fascinated by the future of love, law, and family.
